The world’s fourth-most-populous country had recorded 999,256 coronavirus infections as of Monday, with the average daily increase running above 11,000 for more than a week, according to official data. Deaths from the respiratory disease have totalled 28,132.
The government started its vaccination programme and tightened movement restrictions earlier this month as hospitals came under mounting strain. Sabriyanti, a 42-year-old Jakarta resident, called for the government to impose tighter social distancing rules. Muhaimin Zega, a 20-year-old college student, said the government should give “clear rules that people can understand”.
